DEJAS POV. 2017. 7TH GRADE!
"guys, i think i'm gonna be single for like,
the rest of my life." i said in a not so happy tone sitting next to matt at the lunch table. "and why do you say that?" nick asked me with a sly grin, "first of all nicholas, you really know why so shut up, but, because i haven't been asked to the spring ball yet! daniel blew me off and asked out alahna so i'm so screwed!" i get why he asked out alahna over me, she actually speaks to him and doesn't treat him like he's invincible, but it still pinched my heart a little bit.
"you have us!" matt said biting into his banana, "you could take all three of us, and show daniel that you don't need him! thats a good idea, right chris? nick?" nick chuckled loudly at that statement, "all of us? it'll really show daniel she doesn't need him, yeah. but i think she should go with chris, since he has a white tux already and dejas dress is white, it'd be perfect." i knew what he was doing, and i was gonna get him back so good for it, "i mean, i wouldn't mind taking you deja, that's of course if you'd like to go with me."
"she'd love too." nick smiled at chris, "oh, okay then, yeah! we'd have a lot of fun." he looked so cute, he also looked like he was.... blushing? oh my god he was blushing! about going to a dance, with me!
CHRISTOPHERS POV. THE NIGHT OF THE BALL!
i looked great, my mom had did my hair and my tuxedo fit perfectly, i had a small bouquet of white orchids for deja, that i knew she would absolutely adore. as i was approaching the gym my hands felt so clammy, i don't know why i was so nervous, it was just deja, one of my bestest friends since pre-k, it was gonna be perfect.
that's when i saw her, she looked gorgeous. her hair was curled nicely, she had on that white dress with matching white sandals and a small pink purse. "hi chris!" i tried to say hi back but was still so distracted by how pretty she looked, "helllooo chrissss" she said with a cute smile that made my heart flutter, i cleared my throat "hi deja, you look great." great?? she looked like a model or movie star, just perfect not great.
"thank you, you don't look too bad yourself pretty boy." i could've passed out right there, my heart was beating so fast, and i all i wanted to do was tell her how much i love her. "uh, i-, thanks! we should probably go in, yeah?"
"oh, um yeah, we should." she looked kinda hurt, did i not respond the way she wanted me too?? i feel so stupid, good job chris good job.
the music was loud but it was also kidz bop, meaning no one was really having fun, except for like two kids. skylar frost and piper anderson.... we don't talk about them though. "they're supposed to play tongue tied and midnight city." i spoke up out of nowhere at our table, "oh that's fun! i love tongue tied!" alahna smiled
"we should all go dance when it comes on." deja spoke up after taking a long sip of room temperature lemonade, "we should." i agreed
DEJAS POV. THE NIGHT OF THE BALL!
me and chris danced all over the gymnasium floor, they did end up playing tongue tied and midnight city, but then jazzy the janitor took over the music and started playing better music, so we never sat down.
"deja, you know how you said you'd be single forever?" i looked up at chris nodding my head, "what if. we made a deal that if we're not in a nice healthy relationship by the time we're, lets say.... seventeen, that we start dating." oh not what i was expecting, why couldn't he just ask me out? why make this dumb deal?
"um, i mean yeah, that'd be cool."
"so...deal?" his stupid cute self asked , "deal." i smiled.
